12 description:
13 The Hitachi HD44780 Character LCD Controller is commonly used on character
14 LCDs that can display one or more lines of text. It exposes an M6800 bus
15 interface, which can be used in either 4-bit or 8-bit mode. By using a
16 GPIO expander it is possible to use the driver with one of the popular I2C
17 expander boards based on the PCF8574 available for these displays. For
18 an example see below.
